That "butt ugly" 454 Laguna S3 was worth some big bucks complete and not parted. You might have listed it for sale over at www.chevelles.com Those guys are always looking for big block Laguna's.

Yeah, My brother used to drool over lagunas. He had a 76 Malibu.

Its currently still whole,so far,but i have recieved a deposit on the seats and transmission.I see a couple running around town,and i figured this is one less i will ever have to see.to me its kind of like the 73 up Novas,Chevelles.I or anyone i know hasnt any interest in them.be a perfect motor to dump in a truck,or a 72 and prior Chevelle or Nova

Desert Rat,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I like the Laguna S-3's.

I would suggest that you keep it whole and try the Chevelle guys.

I believe that someone would really like to have it.

**Desert Rat** · 08-26-2003, 11:58 AM

I can keep it mostly whole,for someone who wants the shell.but if nobody buys the motor im going to stuff it in my 62 Wagon in place of the 396.But it needs to be a done and gone thing by Saturday.Motor/Trans is coming out tonight after work.I know of a GMC sprint with a big block,i was going to buy for almost nothing,its a big block car,all i want is the motor.Im not into Chevelles,El Caminos,or Camaros at all. The only Chevelles i like of up to 67, Novas 68-72.Elkys i like the early ones a little.

GMC71k20 · 08-26-2003, 05:01 PM

Had a neighbor a year behind me in school that drove a balck one. He was something of misanthrope and more than a little odd, an image he worked hard to maitain. We called him "the Creature from the Black Laguna."

68 Suburban · 08-27-2003, 04:23 PM

How much for the shell?

**Desert Rat** · 08-27-2003, 04:49 PM

Well the doors are suppose to leave $25 each,and i charged $50 for the 1/4 panels.People actually want parts for these things im sure the parts interchange with Chevelle but whgo in the heck would redo a 1974? i personally wouldnt touch the 72s even though i guess
